Hello all, and welcome to your weekly newspost thread (sorry it's late, been busy all day!)
To Join
Gryphons and Beorfin are still available for anyone to pop in! Keep an eye out for Flamma and Arathlial in the coming weeks!
Or try to woo the lovely Bell in this Firelizard chase!
And Finally...
We are pleased to announce that, thanks to lish, we have our first Whazzit-themed, well, theme! Go check out "Purpley" and let us know what you think! More themes to come. :) If anyone would like a hand at designing their own theme, please reach out!
With the new theme, it'd be great if we started discussing advertising, with whatever thoughts that anyone might have!
Music Prompt Challenge
Old users might remember the Music Prompt Challenge that we had! As the challenge was very difficult, we've added a few levels so that you can get different prizes. Write ten, fifteen, or twenty two thousand word posts to redeem a common, uncommon, or rare big three shiny either described by a member of staff or yourself! If there are any questions, please don't be afraid to ask!
Creature Creation
A few decisions have been made based on the feedback that we've received. We will be voting shinies in three times a year (for 2018 at least). This voting period will begin on Monday, February 5th, if at least ten shinies are ready for the voting process that at least two members of staff have approved. There will be two rounds of voting. And for this first voting period, we will be voting in three shinies to have a nice round number of ten non-Big Three shinies! If one of your shinies are voted in, you will be eligible to redeem up to 3PSP worth of the shiny (one rare, one uncommon and one common, or three common) and have the rights to the first bonding, if you choose. Finally, please remember that any feedback of at least three sentences will net you +0.25BPSP!
It also appears that people seem to think that taking the Big three shinies out of the regular rotation, to be held on top of the rest of the shinies would work well! So from now on, Big Three shiny bondings will begin after the last one has ended. This means that there will, at most, be four non-Big Three shiny bondings going at once, with one Big Three bonding happening on top of it. Please note that Dragons may not start right when Gryphons end, as this is a new policy (totally up to the holder :) )!
Finally, we'd like to address Nicolai's suggestion on the previous news post. While we do think an iteration of this idea, rotating in shinies instead of throwing in extinction, we don't think the site is currently at a place to discuss rotating shinies out when we have so few in right now.
